Chapter 112: The Deliberations of the Garter Temple
There was an undercurrent surging in Luoyang City, and Li Ru was ordered by Dong Zhuo to arrest reactionary elements everywhere.
All the eunuchs in the palace were killed by Dong Zhuo, and they sent their own cronies and soldiers to guard them, and it was difficult for outsiders to see the Han Emperor.
Jiade Hall is the place where the emperor and the hundred officials discuss national affairs, since the death of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, internal and external chaos, the Jiade Hall has not been opened until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.
Dong Zhuo reopened the Jiade Palace, but he regarded the Jiade Hall as his office place, and made this majestic and sacred place a miasma.
Dong Zhuo leaned on the dragon chair in the Jiade Palace, his head resting on the chest of a palace maid, looking at the civil and military ministers who were bowing their heads below, and sneered in their hearts.
"Are you all here?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Back to the Taishi, the prince of the imperial history is suited, and Guangluxun Geng Ji did not come." Li Ru said lightly.
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes slightly, and his voice was low, "Have you asked for leave?" ”
"The prince of the Imperial Doctor said that he was unwell ......"
"Humph! What a physical condition...... What about Geng Ji? Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.
"Lord Geng's little grandson has a serious illness...... Li Ru stood straight and said these words lightly.
"Huh...... Well, are these things more important than the affairs of the imperial court? Dong Zhuo sat up and coldly swept around His Highness's people, "The imperial court raises them, and that's how they do it, Yang Ding!" ”
A general walked out of the general's class, intervened and said, "The last general!" ”
"Wang Zifu and Geng Ji intend to rebel and exterminate the three clans!"
"Whoa!" Yang Ding led the order and walked straight out of the main hall.
All the ministers were silent, and their faces changed greatly, but no one dared to come forward to intercede for Wang Zifu and Geng Ji, so as not to burn themselves.
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this effect, and he finally had a smile on his face.
"Wang Situ."
"The minister is here." Wang Yun walked to the center of the Jiade Hall in small steps and saluted Dong Zhuo.
"How's the relocation of the capital arranged?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Since entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo has been spurned by scholars, although these scholars dare not oppose him openly, but they always push back and block, which makes Dong Zhuo very annoyed.
If he hadn't counted on these people to work, Dong Zhuo would have killed him a long time ago, and only this Wang Yun was sincerely willing to help him.
He also reciprocated the favor, first promoted Wang Yun to the imperial servant, and was promoted one after another in a short period of time, to Shang Shuling, and now he has taken over Yang Biao's position as Situ and Shang Shuling, which is already the head of the civil ministers.
Although Wang Yun is already the head of the Wenchen, he knows that everything is in vain without military power, so he acts carefully and always obeys Dong Zhuo's orders.
Wang Yun said: "Everything has been arranged, Yun has sent someone to Chang'an to repair the palace first, and the emperor's Luan drive is also ready to stop." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "The sub-master has worked hard. ”
Wang Yun replied: "The minister is loved by the Taishi, and he dares not to do his best...... It's just that the journey to move the capital to Chang'an is far away, and I am afraid that the journey will be changeable, so I also asked the Taishi to hand over the escort duties to Yun to arrange, so as to avoid mistakes. ”
Although Dong Zhuo trusts Wang Yun, he has his own plans.
In the imperial court, whether it is Sangong or Jiuqing, he did not arrange the cronies he brought from Liangzhou, not because he was selfless, but because he always understood a truth: only with soldiers can he have power.
Although his cronies were all inconspicuous petty officials, they firmly held the military power, so that no one dared to oppose him.
Therefore, although he trusted Wang Yun, and Wang Yun's request was very legitimate, he instinctively felt that it was inappropriate.
"Master Zi, this matter has its own arrangement, you don't need to worry about it." Dong Zhuo said decisively.
"Yes." Wang Yun's eyes showed gloom, but he covered it up well, and he bowed down.
He didn't dare to say more, so as not to arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicions.
Li Ru stood up and asked, "Taishi, I don't know what to do with the people of Luoyang?" ”
"All move out!" Dong Zhuo said without thinking.
"I'm afraid I'll have to delay my trip." Li Ru said.
"Humph! The order goes down, and those who delay the trip will be killed on the spot, and I want to see who dares to disobey. Dong Zhuo's eyes were vicious.
"Yes." Li Ru replied.
"Taishi, there are too many thieves, I'm afraid Luoyang will be difficult to hold." Dong Huang said.
Dong Zhuo said indifferently: "If you can't keep it, you will be burned!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet Jiade Hall suddenly exploded.
Although those civil and military ministers were coerced by Dong Zhuo and did not dare to resist, their deep-rooted thoughts made them can't help but exclaim when they heard that Dong Zhuo was going to burn Luoyang.
"What! To burn Luoyang ......"
"Oh my God! How can this be, Luoyang is not at all in this dynasty, and it can't be burned......"
"If Luoyang burns, we will all be scolded and become unrighteous people, and what face will stand between heaven and earth!"
“……”
Dong Zhuo looked at His Highness's noisy crowd, sneered, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
"Shut up!" Dong Zhuo suddenly shouted.
"Taishi...... Ah~" Dong Zhuo grabbed the palace maid serving next to him and stabbed her in the stomach with a wave of his hand.
The palace maid looked at Dong Zhuo in horror, grabbed her hands in the air twice, and hung down.
Dong Zhuo took out a knife, wiped it on the palace maid's clothes, and then pushed the palace maid who had lost her breath down the hall.
The noisy minister's face turned pale for a moment, and he didn't dare to speak out again.
"This matter has been decided, if you dare to say more, she will be your end!" Dong Zhuo pointed to the palace maid and said.
No one objected, someone came over and dragged the body of the palace maid away, and then Dong Zhuo beckoned another palace maid to his side.
The palace maid saw her companion being killed, and she was already frightened.
Dong Zhuo grabbed her over, and his hand reached through the placket of her clothes, but the palace maid trembled but didn't dare to resist.
Dong Zhuo said with a smile as if he was fine: "Today's thief army is strong, who has a good strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Niu Fu came out and said: "Yu Taishi, the last general thinks that although the Kwantung Coalition Army is powerful, but each has its own thoughts, and the orders cannot be unified, it is actually a crowd of filthy people, and there is nothing to be afraid of, just send a general to rub their spirit, and the Kwantung Coalition Army will inevitably collapse." ”
"Well, that's true, I don't know who wants to go?" Dong Zhuo asked.
His Highness was silent.
Dong Zhuo's face turned cold, "Could it be that no one in my Xiliang Army dares to compete with the Kwantung Coalition Army?" ”
Li Ru came out and said, "The minister is willing to nominate one person, and this person will definitely win a big victory." ”
"Oh? Who can do this? Wen You, come on. Dong Zhuo said in surprise.
Li Ru has always been a last resort, and he is his first think tank, since the person recommended by Li Ru must not be bad.
"This person is the son of Taishi Moth, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes, Lu Bu and my son are worthy of this great responsibility!" ”22
